Barbie® has been a part of girls' dreams and imaginations for four
generations, but for the first time, the brand is literally letting fans
"into" her world by opening the doors to her palatial Dreamhouse®. This
year's global campaign will feature real-life, life-sized experiences,
online engagement and retail touch points that bring the Barbie®
Dreamhouse® to life in new ways.

"It wasn't an easy decision for Barbie to put her Dreamhouse on the
market, but this move marks an unprecedented opportunity for her fans to
get an inside look at her dreamy home," said Lori Pantel, vice
president, global marketing for Barbie. "As the brand continues to
evolve, we are focused on creating new experiences that allow girls to
step into Barbie's world in ways they never thought possible — igniting
their imaginations and encouraging them to dream even bigger."

Doll House of Dreams

For 41 years, Barbie® doll's famous Dreamhouse® has been a fictional
Malibu landmark as well as one of the most coveted toy homes. The
original Barbie® Dreamhouse® debuted in 1962, providing girls with the
backdrop to "play house" with Barbie® which brought to life Ruth
Handler's vision that Barbie® allows girls to role play real life
scenarios. Each model has represented the era the house was "built" in
with unique architectural features and interior design details,
including a three-story model in 2012. As a successful career woman and
homeowner, the Barbie® Dreamhouse® is one of her most valuable assets.

Dreamhouse® for Sale

After decades of living in Malibu, Barbie® is ready for a change — she's
moving. To sell her house and make the move, Barbie® has enlisted the
premier real estate agent to celebrities, Josh Altman. Valued at $25
million*, her creatively scaled 8,500 square foot, three-story,
one-bedroom, one-bathroom mansion is the only house in Malibu with truly
unobstructed views of the ocean — after all, it only has three walls!
The Dreamhouse® also includes the iconic pink elevator equipped with a
state-of-the-art pulley system.

Altman has listed the Dreamhouse® online exclusively at Trulia (NYSE:
TRLA), a leading online marketplace for home buyers, sellers, renters,
and real estate professionals. Visit Trulia.com/Barbie to view the
listing.

"Celebrity can add to the cache of a listing, but few homes also have
such iconic status as Barbie's Malibu Dreamhouse," said Altman. "I've
been uniting people with their very own dream homes for years and Malibu
is considered one of the most desirable addresses in the world, making
this one-of-a-kind property a realtor's dream listing."

A Designer Dream Team

In search of a new place to call home, Barbie® will embark on a
worldwide scouting tour where she will enlist the help of a "Dream Team"
of designers to provide her with advice and inspiration to make a
decision on her new home.

Over the years, Barbie® has served as creative muse and inspiration to
hundreds of designers and stylists developing relationships with the
best of the best. This year, Barbie® is partnering with a group of
admired style setters, designers and industry experts to re-imagine the
Barbie® Dreamhouse® for today. The Barbie® Dream Team of interior
designers include Los Angeles-based textile designer and design
influencer Lulu Dekwiatkowski, New York/Palm Beach based designer
Celerie Kemble and West Coast fashion and home product designer Trina
Turk.
